Huge game against QPR tonight, with Rotherham playing Villa and Reading at Norwich. Results go our way and we're four clear, with a game in hand and the rest having only five matches left to play.
Good luck to Swansea today. Seems like an impossible task on paper, but Wigan managed to do it in a lower league last season, and Citeh played midweek so there might be some tired legs.
From what I’ve heard, Swindon made a decent offer for him but we quibbled over a few pennies. Poor form from the club, IMO. I hope we don’t fuck him about like we did Marquis. He deserved better and so does Sid.
A bit concerning that the only one making positive subs late on to try and win the game was the manager of a thread-bare squad struggling in the Championship. Everton were completely inept.
Getting Marshall back and having an in-form Ben Thompson back from Portsmouth is potentially big for us. The performance against Boro was leagues better than the shit we served up against Blackburn because we had no choice but to play football with Elliot out and Morison unable to play 90 mins.
We’d won four in a row before Saturday and looked like we were pulling away. But then we played like absolute dogshit and lost to a team that scored with their only two shots on goal (both excellent goals mind), so I’m not sure anymore.
Peterborough, Sunderland and yourselves are interested — don’t know if that’s permanent or loan. I’d have him back in the squad, but it is bizarre that Millwall supporters are having debates about how big the fee should be given that four months ago the consensus was that he probably wouldn’t...
From the Bundesliga to Millwall or Wigan in two years.
That is clearly the trajectory of a player who is dedicated to and passionate about his profession.
Difference between Burke and a player like Marshall is that the former has been signed on the basis of his reputation, while the latter has worked his bollocks off to prove himself but has been unlucky that his last two clubs have had title ambitions.
How many years ago was that, though? I’d be excited to sign 2007 Michael Johnson and 2010 Dale Jennings. Throw in 1999 Francis Jeffers and that’s a great transfer window.
Looking at WBA's Olly Burke, Exeter's Jayden Stockley and Tom Eaves of Gillingham. Also interested in getting Ben Marshall back on loan, given his move to Norwich has gone sour.
Some big games in the relegation battle on NYD: Ipswich vs Millwall, Rotherham vs PNE, Wigan vs Sheffield United. All things going well, an opportunity to open a bit of a gap between us and the bottom 3.
